Craig Batty
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 74 balls (SR 68), then 50 to 100 in just 59 (SR 85) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 14 matches (+2.1)
- ● Body of work — 77 imported matches (+1.5)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 59.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
45 of 63 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.58 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 145.
- ✓ Safe hands — 45 catches in 77 matches (0.58 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting 63 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 44 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 77 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- 1,831 runs in 75 innings, adjusted average 28.3, strike rate 59.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 11 wickets from 40.5 overs across 13 matches bowled in (of 77 played) — 0.14 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
